BAB Top Five Prospects List: AL West

[Wes]

Afternoon.

The Derek Holland boner fest is getting ridiculous now....

Not so much that he is ahead of Feliz but more that you gave him an A+, puting him in the same class as guys like Wieters and Price :x

Wieters and Price are generally considered once in a (insert long length of time) prospects - I would put them above A+. "A" guys I'm considering as potential all stars - guys who would be first round material if a minor league redraft was done today.

That and his increase in velocity is tantalizing.

Bro, I generally agree with you about prospects, but you are SEVERELY overrating Engel Beltre.

 

[Ian Stewart]

Uhh.. Greg Halman to Shane Victorino??

How the hell does that make any sense? Halman is a power-hitting OF'er who strikes out a TON. Victorino is a scrappy player with not much HR power and barely any K's.

We are finally on opposite ends for once. I like Beltre alot. The dude is a stud, and if he didn't have soooo many cards, his prices would be alot higher.

Good, maybe now we won't drive the prices up against each other

Don't get me wrong though, I actually really like Beltre, but an "A" grade right now? Too early, and so is the Sizemore comp.

He's a wait and see type for me, more than a buy right away guy. I wish you the best with him though.

Thanks. I don't necessarily think he is an A, but I just picked up two blue refs for $11 and $12. I can't find another guy on the market with his tools for that cheap....

My comment was more just for his ranking and comparison.

While he obviously has all the right tools, I just wouldn't rate him that high right now.

Fair enough I think I was focusing more on the similar power/speed combination that both will bring. Comparing 150 players who in some cases haven't sniffed the big leagues to established ballplayers is no easy task!
